It not all about tubes

[softball]

We were just talking to our new billing processor today and apparently there are a bunch of banks that issue Visa cards that have blocked all high risk transactions. It all happened last year at about the same time. You probably know that high risk transactions have their own code and are easily identified.

It seems that it is not all about tubes sucking business. Anyone else heard this?

My favorite quote from the text:

"Charge backs are significant in Internet commerce, which takes place without any face to face transaction. The products in question are such things as teeth whiteners, creams, slimming tea, and so forth. "People buy, and after a couple of months see that the thing doesn't work, and so they cancel the transaction, or deny that they committed to making purchases over time," is how Chechik explained the problem in the past."


Or they joined a crappy site that only had a paltry little smatter of content that they hadn't seen already promoted everywhere for free...

Only partially true. There are lots of "reasons". Scumbags, thieves, angry wives to name a few. Like you, I have been providing good, honest content for years and I would guess our c/b numbers are less than most straight online businesses.
